Students in Mrs. Susie Tison's 4th grade CLASS program at Center
Elementary School sharpened their letter writing and descriptive
writing skills while making new friends located 953 miles away by
participating in a penpal exchange program throughout the 2011-2012
school year. Today, the students met their New York penpals
face-to-face using Skype in the classroom. The students introduced
themselves to one another, shared their Monster Adjective
collaborative projects, and learned more about what their comrades
would be up to later this summer. Dr. Sonya Bennett, principal at
Center Elementary, dropped in to greet Ms. Ellie Speros' 4th
graders, who attend F.E. Bellows Elementary School in Mamaroneck,
NY. The students plan to exchange one more snail mail letter, which
will contain a parent e-mail address if available, so the students
can continue to write to each other. Special thanks to Bellows media
specialist Mr. Bill McKeon for making the connection possible.
